Trump to Deliver First Address of His Second Term to Joint Session of Congress

President Donald Trump is gearing up for his first major address to a joint session of Congress in his second term. Slated for Tuesday night at 9 p.m. EST, the speech will operate under the theme "The Renewal of the American Dream." While it’s not officially a State of the Union address—since Trump hasn’t completed a full year in office—it’s expected to mirror the format, showcasing his administration’s policies and achievements.

White House officials have revealed that the speech will be split into four key sections: domestic and international accomplishments from Trump’s second term; the administration’s economic policies; a renewed push for Congress to approve additional border security funding; and the president’s plans for global peace. According to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, this joint address "will be must-see TV." Well, love him or not, Trump sure knows how to make an event sound like a blockbuster.

In his typical fast-paced style, Trump has reportedly achieved more in his first month back in office than most presidents accomplish in four years. He kicked off with over 200 executive actions on day one. (Yes, you read that right—200. Who even has time for coffee after that?) The administration also claims to have already made $1.7 trillion in investments to boost American manufacturing, energy production, and cutting-edge technologies like AI.

The speech will spotlight these achievements while addressing economic challenges, including inflation, which Trump’s team attributes to the previous Biden administration. The president plans to emphasize his administration’s progress in "fixing the economic mess" and bringing industries back to the U.S.—a recurring note in his "Make America Great Again" symphony.

On border security, Trump will urge Congress to allocate more funding for deportations and the continued construction of the border wall along the southern border. As for foreign policy, the president is expected to unveil strategies for restoring global peace, including plans to end the war in Ukraine and secure the release of hostages from Gaza. Ambitious? Absolutely. Achievable? That’s the trillion-dollar question.

Trump himself teased the address on his Truth Social platform, promising, "Tomorrow night will be big. I will tell it like it is!" A White House official doubled down, stating, "As always, President Trump will keep it real and speak the truth." If you’ve followed Trump for any amount of time, you know "keeping it real" is his brand.

The speech will be broadcast live on Fox News Channel, Fox News Digital, and Fox News Go, with previews airing throughout the day. Whether you’re tuning in for the policy updates or the drama, one thing is certain: Trump’s joint address is set to dominate the news cycle.
